Posted on February 3, 2020 by admin

Our consistent old boy the 12yo Casual Cavalier won his third race for Martin Gray Racing when just managing to keep his head in front at Catterick on Friday where a great day out was had by racing club members.

Casual Cavalier has earned his retirement at the end of this current jumps season.

Catterick Run for Casual Cavalier

Posted on January 30, 2020 by admin

Our old boy the consistent Casual Cavalier returns to the tight underlating turns of Catterick tomorrow over a distance which should be ideal but on ground not as soft as he would like and a track which is not the preferred flat galloping tracks he enjoys running on at the likes of Ayr and Newcastle.

With not many race options available we will give it a go as he is not getting any younger standing in his stable!

Ayr 3rd place run for Casual Cavalier

Posted on January 20, 2020 by admin

Our veteran chaser the 12yo Casual Cavalier ran his usual consistent race to finish 3rd at Ayr yesterday and give his owners their usual fun day out racing.

This real gentleman of a horse who acts as the schoolmaster at home will have a few more runs and then we will decide on whats best for him going forward. Everyone at home loves the horse and as he is such a softy and well mannered horse I will make sure we find the special owners he deserves and that he has a real nice life ahead of him after his track racing days are over.

Ayr run on Sunday for Casual Cavalier

Posted on January 18, 2020 by admin

Our old boy the 12 yo chaser Casual Cavalier is trying a new trip at Ayr on Sunday running over 2m 6f in what looks like a competitive handicap with 10 runners going to post.

Some in form stables represented and a handful of runners look on good handicap marks.

It feels a bit late in Casual Cavaliers career to be experimenting with new distances however he has been struggling to get his head in front for a while now so this is an attempt at something new for the horse.

Looking forward to a good day out out and the usual decent owner facilities offered by Ayr racecourse.

Casual Cavalier 2018/19 Jumps Season

Posted on May 28, 2019 by admin

Casual Cavalier had a great season providing loads of fun days out and plenty prize money for MGR club members. From 6 runs our consistent handicap chaser won two races at Ayr and Newcastle, was 2nd once and placed 4th three times.

With his favoured race tracks up north the horse has been switched to the Tristan Davidson stable near Carlisle which will mean his race day travel distances will be reduced.

This season Casual Cavalier notched up the 100 winner mark when winning at Newcastle for the very capable up and coming trainer Henry Oliver who did a great job with the horse right through the season.

Henry is a trainer going places and has a great knack of getting the best out of his horses.

Looking forward to next season already and I see no reason why we can’t have another good season out of our 11 yo chaser who is in such good fettle at home and does not have many miles on the clock.

Casual Cavalier Wins At Newcastle posting the 100th winner for trainer Henry Oliver

Posted on March 18, 2019 by admin

MGR members had a great day out at Newcastle watching Casual Cavalier win his 2nd race this season. I tipped the horse out at 4/1 the previous evening and it added to the pleasure of the victory. With form figures of 5 runs 2 wins 1 second and 2 fourth place finishes the horse is a real star and seems better than ever.

Congratulations to Henry and his team for the 100 winners in only 5 years of training and our jockey on the day the young Billy Garritty who in my opinion is the best 7lb claiming jockey in the North.

Happy Days!

Casual Cavalier Wins at Ayr

Posted on November 16, 2018 by admin

Mixed feelings for me at Ayr yesterday however I was pleased to see our club horse win for the club members who enjoyed their day out and following party night with 10 of us staying over in Ayr.

Casual Cavalier will be 11 years old in a few weeks time however he just managed to get his head in front in what looked a moderate race.

Casual Cavalier declared to run at Ayr

Posted on November 13, 2018 by admin

The members are looking forward to a good days racing at Ayr tomorrow where our racing club horse runs in the 1:40 race. With our trainers runners yet to hit top form so far this season (no wins or places from 18 runners in the last 30 days) we are looking for a nice run and for both the horse and jockey to come home safe and sound.
